Water Margin Survival

"En, officer benefactor!?"

Ling Zhen's eyes widened, and he looked at this benefactor who had been supporting him in the army in disbelief. He was really surprised that he appeared on Liangshan Po at this time.After being stunned for a while, Ling Zhen hastily bowed to this person, and finally expressed his doubts:

"The benefactor was murdered by Gao Qiu back then. Didn't he go to join the army at the old manager's office? How could he be here on Liangshan!"

"I'm just a stepping stone for others to curry favor with Gao Qiu. Although the world is big, there is no place for me. I survived for several years on Shamen Island. Fortunately..." The big man pointed at the person behind Ling Zhen, and said, "It's fortunate to have him Rescue, lucky to get this life back, and now the mother and child are reunited, what a great human relationship!"

Ling Zhen looked back at Wang Lun in disbelief, only to hear the big man say again: "Ling Zhen, what is it that makes your heart so cold? You were not like this back then!"

"The benefactor knows that the villain's ancestral home is Yanling. He is often suspected by people, and he doesn't know how to adapt. He refuses to flatter him, so that no one appreciates him in the army. If he hadn't been supported by the benefactor, he would not be where he is today! Since the benefactor offended him A traitor, if he goes to guard the border, the villain will become cold-hearted, lose the will to make progress, and drift with the flow, just passing by." In front of this big man, Ling Zhen's stubbornness suddenly disappeared, and he said calmly:

"At the beginning, I also equipped gunpowder and firearms for the imperial army to supply the imperial army of each state. Later, they said that when I supervised the work, I was lavish and wasted too much on materials. To add some fireworks and firecrackers at home, to add some prosperity to the world, only for this weight they dare not reduce the deductions, so they dare to rest assured that I will configure it!"

Although Ling Zhen spoke lightly, the big man in front of him could hear the grievance and unwillingness in his heart. He sighed and said, "If I ask you to stay at this time, will you stay?"

"Stay!" Ling Zhen said without hesitation.Ever since he met this person, Ling Zhen, who was in a daze, seemed to see a bright light, and a heroic figure like Enguan still settled here.If I go back to the intriguing and deceitful Tokyo officialdom, can I still dawdle with peace of mind?

Seeing this bizarre turning point happened in an instant, Jiao Ting felt angry, and said to himself: "Go! My brother told you to keep you or not, but if Coach Wang asks you, you will stay, and you have regarded my cottage as some kind of place! "It was about to explode, but because Wang Lun didn't speak, he had to endure it.

As everyone knows, Wang Lun didn't think about it at all at this time.At this time, it is far from two years ago, everything has to be done by himself, and the new Liangshan created by him has already established a solid foundation.No matter whose sake Ling Zhen stays in the cottage, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that as long as he can stay in the cottage willingly and actively play his role in the future, Wang Lun's goal will be achieved.After all, as the lord of a village, employing people should not be confined to his own small circle, but should focus on all corners of the country.

Wang Jin sighed, patted Ling Zhen on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to let you stay at this time. But I think, at least you won't blame me in the future!"

"Where the benefactor stays is the place where the villain lives!" Ling Zhen clasped his fists and said, "The imperial army will conquer Liangshanpo in a few days. Please make preparations early!"

Wang Jin nodded, pulled Ling Zhen in front of Wang Lun, and said, "My brother is proficient in martial arts, bow and horse. He is also familiar with the use of firearms. I have offended my brother just now, please forgive me! But he He is the most loyal person. At this time, it is decided that he will never be half-hearted again, so don't worry, brother!"

Wang Lun nodded slightly at Wang Jin when he heard the words. Although Wang Jin was talking about Ling Zhen, why wasn't he talking about himself?The coach is now more enthusiastic every time, and it seems that he has really integrated himself into the cottage.Thinking of the scene of Wang Jin going up the mountain that day, the comparison between the two made Wang Lun feel a little emotional.But at this moment Ling Zhen was still in front of him, Wang Lun withdrew his thoughts and said to Ling Zhen:

"This prescription is indeed true. If you want to try it, you must use less weight. I can't invite your family here, but I can't see you!"

Ling Zhen sighed deeply, he didn't mention the family's personal matters at this time, but just confessed: "The village master is willing to show others the true prescription, which shows that he is magnanimous, and the villain has nothing to say. If he is useful to the villain in the future, he will not dare to slack off!"

Ling Zhen didn't say it didn't mean he didn't care. Wang Lun didn't answer, but just looked back at Jiao Ting and said, "Brother Ling will be asked to write a letter from home later, send Feige to the capital, and ask Lehe to send capable men to escort him along the way." Go up the mountain and transfer them to Jeju Island for resettlement in the next day!"

Jiao Ting nodded, but looked at Ling Zhen and snorted. Ling Zhen was thinking about where Jeju Island was, when he suddenly saw Jiao Ting's mood, he sighed, thinking that what he did just now might offend this person, but he didn't do it right now. No explanation.Seeing this, Wang Jin smoothed things over and said: "This leader Jiaotou is the most straightforward, I'm afraid you will understand him a little while walking with him all the way. In the future, we will all be brothers, so just talk about it! Don't be surprised!"

"Brother told you to stay or not to stay, Coach Wang told you to stay and you stayed, what is this called? This is called toasting and not eating or drinking fine wine! I'm not happy, you have to have a drink with me before we talk!" Jiao Ting thought After thinking about it, he said something exciting.He is not an unreasonable person, Ling Zhen has already gone up the mountain at this time, no matter how angry he is with him, it is still an internal conflict in the village, if it is too unrealistic to solve it with fists and kicks, he can only vent his anger at the wine table.

"Drinking!?" Ling Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Drink as you please, with one mouth, who is afraid of whom?"

"Drinking? Then how can I miss it!" At this moment, a blackhead protruded from the door, and the voice came before the person arrived.

"This is the black whirlwind Li Kui, the leader of our cottage infantry!" Wang Jin introduced Humanity to Ling Zhen, and immediately remembered something, and asked Wang Lun, "Brother, if my brother has nowhere to go, why don't we go to the little apprentice to help?"

"Coach, Ling Zhen is a talent you discovered, so you don't know his strengths?" Wang Lun looked at Wang Jin and said with a smile.

A smile appeared on Wang Jin's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then I will listen to my brother's arrangement!"

"A new Gunpowder Bureau has been set up in the Shanzhai, and Brother Ling Zhen will be in charge of it in the future. If there is a lack of craftsmen, you can go to Brother Tang Long to transfer people. As for what the Gunpowder Bureau will do in the future, I will take time to discuss with Brother Ling Zhen in these two days. Let’s talk about it! There’s a big banquet tonight to greet Brother Ling Zhen, and leader Ling can also take this opportunity to get acquainted with everyone! Let’s see how the weather in our cottage is better than that of the lifeless imperial court!” Wang Lun said to Ling Zhen.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Ling Zhen bowed his hands and thanked.

"Brother Ling is new here, and he is unfamiliar with everything. He has Lao Wang's instructor to accompany him, so I can find Brother Du Qian by the way!" Wang Lun nodded and said to Wang Jin.

"Brother, don't worry about your duties!" Wang Jin naturally understood what Wang Lun meant by telling him to take Ling Zhen to find Du Qian.Immediately, he nodded to Jiao Ting and Li Kui who was probing his head, and was about to take Ling Zhen down.

"Ling Zhen, you were so courageous just now, are you not afraid of being shot in the back?" Jiao Ting suddenly called out.

Ling Zhen stood still, glanced at Wang Jin, turned around and said, "If you can make the people in Zuojin fall in love with you, as well as the three heroes Lin, Xu, and Yang, I bet the village master won't do such a thing! As for you, Lao Jiao, I and you After walking all the way, even though we are not friends, I know that you are not someone who puts an arrow in your back!"

Wang Jin laughed loudly when he heard the words, and pulled Ling Zhen out of the hall.Li Kui didn't know: "What's the origin of this guy, he seems very annoying?"

Where would Wang Lun talk to Li Kui about this, he just looked at him and said, "Tie Niu, have you told my mother yet that your brother is going to take her to Jeju Island, what does she think?"

"I'm going to Jeju Island, but I have to wait until I go to the island! My mother said, just follow me to enjoy the blessings! My brother, let him ask for a house and wife. Live by himself!" Li Kui laughed. .

Wang Lun reckoned that things would only end like this. The youngest son who hadn't supported his mother for a day was favored by his mother, and the eldest son who worked so hard to take care of his mother only ended up complaining.Full of bitterness, but there is really no place to reason about this matter.Wang Lun looked at the complacent Li Kui, thought for a while, and said, "You have nothing to do and run around. Are you free? There is a big banquet in the cottage at night, and you give me a leader to let me go in person. Don't ask others to do it for you!"

Li Kui was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "I'm going to talk about it one by one up and down the mountain?"

Wang Lun nodded very seriously, indicating that this matter is not a joke.Seeing that this time was different than usual, Li Kui thought it was useless to say it, but he just muttered, "I will bully honest people, and make fun of me as soon as I come back!"

"Tie Niu, what are you talking about, why don't you speak louder!" Jiao Ting said earnestly.

"I said... I'll go now..." Li Kui grinned and left in dismay.

The fellow complained to Jiao Ting in a low voice, walked down the mountain with his head down, accidentally bumped into an oncoming man, Li Kui was rough and fleshy, but it was all right, but the man who bumped into him was It was miserable, I couldn't hold back three or five steps, but I tripped over a stone and fell to the ground immediately, the scrolls and documents in my hand were scattered all over the ground.

When Li Kui saw this man, he was overjoyed immediately, and shouted: "Mr. Xiao, how can you walk without eyes and bump into my Tie Niu!"

It was Xiao Rang who was knocked to the ground. Seeing that he was so angry, he couldn't help replying: "Brother Li, why did I hit you? It was obviously you who hit me! What else is there, don't shout! Call brother Don't you die laughing when you hear that?"

Li Kui smiled, stepped forward to lift him up, and said, "My brother told you to go to Jeju Island to be a high-ranking official. Why aren't you a gentleman? Our former county magistrates were all called husbands and princes, and no one laughed at them." !"

Xiao Rang was in a hurry, afraid that the big mouth would yell everywhere, so he just bowed and said, "Brother Li, brother Li, stop and stop! I'm going to help Wen Junjun and Qiu County Magistrate with some chores, not to be a high-ranking official!"

"Chou is a fool, who knows him in the cottage! Don't worry, you have been up the mountain since you robbed the birthday card. I was the one who robbed your prison car, and you went up the mountain a little later than me. Sooner or later, you will be a great gentleman! " Li Kui said eloquently.

Seeing Li Kui say what happened back then, Xiao Rang was a little moved. He really took the lead and stopped the prison car that was taking him to the Daming Mansion, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li's life-saving grace, I will always remember it..."

When Li Kui heard this, he said impatiently: "It's so good, it's as if I want you to repay your favor! Come on, there will be a big banquet in the cottage to celebrate the cottage getting another leader, remember to go on time! Don't be late, call brother Blame me for not being able to do anything!"

Xiao Rang was startled when he heard the words, these days he has been dealing with handovers with his clerks, and he is so busy that he does not touch the ground, how did he know this news?It's just that it's a big deal for a new leader to join, Xiao Rang immediately asked Li Kui, "Brother Li, which leader has gone up the mountain?"

"I don't know him either. I heard that he is a birdman who makes firecrackers for the government. He is the deputy envoy of Jiazhanku in Tokyo!" Li Kui said carelessly.

"Brother Li, no matter who it is, it's my brother who goes up the mountain. It's not good for your words to spread!" Xiao Rang looked around, luckily no one, and tried to persuade him.

Li Kui snorted, turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Rang and asked, "I don't know where my brother is now? My little brother has something to report!" (To be continued...)
